I 100% agree. I haven't been impressed with the fans enthusiasm for Canada at all so far.
If only they could put as much effort into cheering for Canada as they do in cheering against the USA...

Goal by Barker.
Lead the puck up the rush, cut to the middle and let a nice wrister go from the high slot.

Jesus H Christ...at the end of the first period some Norwegian player comes at the net and gets decked by the D and the ref had his arm up before the hit happened 
Ironic that you're complaining about the flatness in Canada's play as you are complaining about the lack of cheering at the game. It is indeed difficult to cheer about a lacklustre game to which in my opinion should be about 5-0 now. Like somebody else commented, it's up to the team to get the crowd going and so far they aren't doing too good a job of it. I'm watching the game myself and finding myself bored with all of these penalties.Maken said:

Man this team is so undiciplined... Pouliot yesterday with that double minor and at the end of the first today Parent with the stupid crosscheck.... 
John Walsh has to do an episode looking for the Canadian team that played Russia and Finland.They've vanished without a trace since then.Anyone with any information leading to their safe return please call 1-800-i've forgotten to bring intensity and check effectively.

Doubt it. I think a lot of this is a case of Canada not taking these lesser opponents seriously enough. When the competition is tougher, they'll step up.

Last nights Hitmen game featured a ref I had never seen before who was absolutely terrible. I felt he really ruined what would have already been a bad game. But then I watched my recording of the game vs the Swiss, and now this one, and I realize that Canadian junior referees arent that bad, all things considered.
You know what? This tournament is hosted by a North American country. Call a North American style game. Let the no-contact hockey rule when the tournament is hosted in Europe.
Oh, and Canada really needs to wake up. We should be winning by a margin considerably larger than one goal, regardless of the officiating.

It appears as though the crowd in Vancouver are booing ANY penalty called, not just those against Canada.
